The DP gets us again (correcting the McGahee story)

Silly me. For some reason, I just accepted it as fact when Jeff Legwold wrote the following this morning about Willis McGahee's season-ending injury...

He went on injured reserve at that point, but the Broncos left open the possibility he could return to the AFC Championship Game.

And as much as McGahee lobbied the coaches and training staff — and he lobbied plenty — to play in the Divisional Round loss to the Ravens, the Broncos didn't think he was physically ready to return at that point and he was not activated.

Not that we're going to hold our breath or anything, but unless Legwold expounds upon today's article with an explanation of the discrepancy, we'll assume that McGahee was not eligible to play in the divisional round.
